From the realm of 'texting' comes this beauty. The neologism seems to have arisen as a logical(?) linguistic opposite to the popular prepaid card in mobile phones. As such, those who pay phone bills at the end of the month in the usual way are now referred to as 'postpaid users' in some circles. Any comments or vociferations?
It makes perfect sense, rather like the Indian English "prepone". Here in Zild, we speak of "prepaid" customers and "on account" customers, but "postpaid" is not repellently ugly or pointless.
